Create QR Code Shortcuts

QR codes can be linked with buildings, areas, or subareas. Teams can scan these codes to save time by jumping straight to the right location.

This feature is part of the Standard plan and the service checklists add-on. If you have one of these plans but do not see the options below, please reach out to us at support@orangeqc.com.

Creating QR Code Signage

Every area in your account already has a corresponding QR code and unique link built in.  When it's scanned, the system will detect different permissions, which user, etc. to determine next steps.

You can print QR codes from the Setup tab, or from individual areas.

To print from the Setup tab:

1. Log into the OrangeQC web app as an administrator.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. Choose "QR Codes" from the left-hand sidebar.
4. Select the areas you want to print QR codes for. First, choose the areas you'd like to generate codes for from the area picker. Then, select from the options to generate QR codes for all areas at and within the selected area, or only the selected areas.
5. Choose your print format. Choose the label format that best matches your needs. We've included links to the corresponding Avery label sheets for each format; you will need to select a material that fits your use.
6. Add label content. Use the form to customize the appearance of your label. The preview box will show you how each individual label will look.
7. Download. Click the "Download" button in the lower right-hand corner to download all of your selected labels.

To print from an individual area:

1. Log into the OrangeQC web app as an administrator.
2. Click on the Setup tab.
3. Navigate to the area you need a QR code for. Click on that area.
4. Click "More" in the right-hand sidebar. Choose "QR Code" from the drop-down menu.
5. Download the image. You can right-click on the QR code that pops up and choose "Save Image As" to save it as a PNG image file. To customize and create a PDF version, click "Customize" in the lower right-hand corner. This will take you to the Setup tab customization page described above.

To create your own custom QR codes:

You can also use your own custom QR codes to directly link to an area. This can be useful for teams who are already using Flowcode or another system that generates QR codes.

Follow the steps 1-4 above for printing a QR code from an individual area. Instead of saving the QR code image, copy the direct link in the text field beneath the image.

Posting QR Codes

Place the codes in discreet locations, such as on a door jamb or near an entrance.

To make it easy to match codes with specific areas, the 2"x4" label PDF includes the name of the area on each individual labels. The smaller 1"x1" labels include the unique area number, and also print with a table that matches each number with its area name.
